Teacher Natalie Munroe Defends Blog That Insulted Students

mommyshop — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:12:56 +0000

Pennsylvania teacher Natalie Munroe was suspended last week after posting profanity-laced rants online which called her students “out of control” and “disengaged, lazy whiners.” Now Munroe, who teaches in Doylestown, Pa., outside Philadelphia, is firing back, defending her blog.

“I don’t think I did anything wrong,” Munroe told ABC News. When asked if she was concerned anyone would find it, she said, “No, not really, not ever, in fact, it was up there for over a year, nobody found it.”

The 30-year-old used the name “Natalie M” and never identified the name of the school in her posts that also lashed out against other teachers and administrators. But the blog did include a photo of herself and came to the attention of authorities. It has since been taken down.

The school’s superintendent told PhillyBurbs.com the comments were “very egregious” and “certainly could result in termination.” The case remains under investigation. Read the full story here.

mommyshop — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 15:40:11 +0000

Finding a fashionable and functional diaper bag can be a difficult task for fashionista mothers, but Timi and Leslie makes great diaper bags inspired by vintage shapes and fabrics. The ‘baby bags’ as they are called come in all sorts of fabrics from vintage looking prints to basketball leather. There was a need for a hip yet functional diaper bag, Timi and Leslie baby bags were the ones smart enough to fill this void.

Their latest diaper bag collection is chic and sophisticated, using fun fabrics with vintage-inspired prints, and a small shoulder-strap. The ladylike shapes hark back to a more elegant time when ladies didn’t lug 10-pound sacks filled with life’s many necessities around every day, but still have Newton’s signature whimsical touches.

The Timi & Leslie Diaper Bags Hannah is a glamorous synthetic leather diaper bag that holds several bottles, diapers, a snack and even has room for a few of mommy’s things. The matching accessory clutch, bottle thermos, changing pad and stroller straps look so fashion friendly that no one would even think you are carrying a diaper bag.

Family Dinner Download: The Arizona Tragedy And The Challenges We Face

mommyshop — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 21:31:39 +0000

In her new book, The Family Dinner, Laurie David talks about the importance of families making a ritual of sitting down to dinner together, and how family dinners offer a great opportunity for meaningful discussions about the day’s news. “Dinner,” she says, “is as much about digestible conversation as it is about delicious food.”

We couldn’t agree more. So HuffPost has joined with Laurie to launch a new feature we’re calling HuffPost Family Dinner Downloads. Every Friday afternoon, just in time for dinner, our editors highlight one of the most compelling news stories of the week — stories that will spark a lively discussion among the whole family.

The family can gather around the laptop, smartphone, or iPad — or just print out the post and pass it around the table. Each Dinner Download will end with a question or two that we hope will get everyone thinking and sharing their thoughts, feelings, and opinions.

This week, the news was dominated by the tragic shooting in Arizona that took the lives of 6 people — including Christina Green, a 9-year old girl — and left 14 others wounded, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. At a memorial service on Wednesday night, President Obama called on Americans to hold ourselves to the standards and expectations of Christina Green and our country’s children, saying, “I want our democracy to be as good as Christina imagined it.” Most Americans have taken the tragedy as a chance to reflect on our lives, our values, and our families, and on what kind of country we want America to be.

In the wake of the shooting, what are three things you think America should be and strive for? How can an event like this make us stronger — how might something positive come out of something so tragic? At times like these, our presidents take on a different role than political leader or commander-in-chief — what do you think a president’s role should be in the wake of a national tragedy?

Note: I enjoy the Huffington Post and try to browse the website daily. I think the Family Dinner Download is a great idea, so will be posting it weekly here on MommyShop.com as well. All credit to Laurie David and The Huffington Post.
